Vol 31, CORVALLIS, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 16. 1890. fldl BLOODY WORK A BIG BET DOWN IN MAINE children and grandchildren to have a reunion and to invite all pioneers of '45 in the state- to be present to celebrate their father's 102d but as the day drew nigh it was apparent the state of his health jpuld not permit of the excitement attendant upon such an occasion. The frailty of age is ap parent. The venerable pioneer has passqd the usual limit of 'old age, and is living in his second childhood, and a younge generation will soon be called upon to honor his memory.

The living children of John Dur-bin are: Casper of Huntington, Oregon, aged 74 Mrs. Fannie A. that he fhould either join them or move into town. On the Fortuna estate an old widow with a houseful of children was driven out of her- house and torch being applied to the building while their humble plantings weredestroyed. In Matanzas province, near Rogue, Nicholas Herandez, em ployed La Esplana plantation, owned by former Minister Romero Robeledo, Madrid, was seized by raiders and hangod to a tree iu front of his own door.

Andres Rpbondo, a foreman of the Olympo sugar estate, was also taken out a few nights ago'fey a party of rebels, who left him dangling fiom a' tree.

Harold SeWall, of Bath, who took the stump to argue against the principles of Hon. Arthur Sew-all, the democratic nominee for vice president But in all the strife and contention, the contest was remarkably free from personalities. The most effective work was done from the stump and never did a more formidable array of campaign orators expound a republican doc- trine in a New England state. But the struggle was not entirely one sided.

With internal dissensions and a lack of funds to contend with, the democrats made a very strong fight, especially in the cities. Candidate Frank did good work on the stump, and while the speakers generally from outside of the state were not orators of great fame, their work was productive of some good results. In the last two weeks the gold democrats took a hand in the struggle, and several of their leaders addressed large audienqes in the cities, but tonight indicates that the Eurfcka Sept byTrailroad.1'ocidi0ll A MAJORITY FORTT-FIYE TO FIFTY THOUSASD FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

Augusta, Sept has followed the example of Vermont and declared for the republican ticket by the largest majority in its history.

According tpthe latest returns tonight, the plurality for Powers, republican, for governor, will be over 45,000, and probably in the neighborhood ot Hon. Thomas B.

In the state legislature, the dem- ociats wilU.

apparently have less than half-a-dozen of the representatives in tlie house and not one in the senate. As anticipated, the republicans polled a tremendous vote and secured many democratic ballots. On the other hand many disaf fected democrats remained at home and only a few voted for the nomi nee oi the gold standard wing. The populists and the prohibitionists votes have been received from only a few towns, but it is evident that neither party polled as large a vote as two years ago. from earlv mormncr it look Ad as if rain would fall, but it did not, and about 4 clock the sun came out brightly.

Everywhere at the oils, the organization of the republicans was evident in the activity they displayed in getting out a full vote at the earliest possible hour. Scores of hacks and carriages were in commission to carry the old and lame voters to the polls, and many persons from other states also oame home to vote. The democratic or ganization was nearly as good. There was only a few local contests to arouse factional feuds, and order was preserved at the polls throughout the state withc-wt much difficul-tv. The campaign and the contest Of today was the most interesting Maine has seen in 20 years, if not in ner entire history.

The insurgents bad gone when the Spaniards arrived, and Molinas ordered the buildings bn the estate destroyed. The Spaniards surrounded the homes of the employes, applied the torch and shot the Cubans as they rushed out; Eighteen men and four women were killed outright, while 12 others, including three children, were wounded.

Molinas was a pleased spectator of the massacre, and reported it to Weyler as a victory." Thursday insurgents raided and burned the town of San Francisco de Paula, a suburb of Havana. The Spanish garrison of 300 men surrendered but were released being disarmed. The smoke and flames were visible in Havana, and caused great excitement. Weyler seems to hayecompletely lost his head. He is having leading citizens of Havana arrested by the wholesale, Weyler says thes men arrested have been plotting to have 1iim recalled to Spaln? The "arrests have profoundly stirred Havana.

Havana, Sept. 12. It is the rebels now who are making war up-1 on Cuban pacificos. Under a late decree of Maximo Gomez those who have attempted to preserve a neutral attitude must 'show -their colors and come out on one side or the other. Able-bodied men are made combatants and they' must lase a nana ana sirise iur uuim and independence or abandon their fields and take refuge within the towns and cities held by government forces and shoulder a rifle in defense oi Spain and the crown.

Neutrality in future will not Be respected in time of war. Gomez says there should be no pacificos save helpless and innocent children. By a strange "coincidence he and Captain-General Weyler have upon this subject identicfd rideas andBtrangertill- eachrris op posed to alio wing planters to gather their coffee and cocoa crops until after the war is fought to a finish.

Beyond the Vibora on the Barreto sugar estate, but a few leagues from Havana, Ramon Velez, a poor peasant, was dragged from his humble hut, Jshot, and after ward horribly macheted by an in surgent band before the eyes of his wife and children, whose appeals for mercv availed naught.

P. Cannon is pastor, and as he entered the house of worship, fully- 1,000 people were vainly seeking admission, but the edifice was packed-to its fullest ca pacity and hundreds were turned away. Nothing remarkable occurred during the services, but oice the. benediction was pronounced, there was a crush around the pew occu pied toy the candidate, All -seemed determined to grasp bim by the hand. The jam became so violent a short time that Mr.

Bryan was almost crushed to the floor. A sergeant of police was called, and he, aided by Colonel I. I. Martin, whose pew Mr. Bryan occupied, succeeded in conducting the candidate safely out of the' church.

tot blocks about the church there was a great multitude of several thousand who cheered him lustily. The police pulled nim through the crowd from the church door to his carriage, but men held the horses and for several minutes he sat in the carriage shaking hands with men and women. Colonel Martin finally reached the carriage and got into it, and the horses dashed away amid the cheers of the enthusiastic churchgoers. Mr. Bryan took dinner with rel-tives, and spent the afternoon with them.

At 9 o'clock this evening, he went to the private car provided for him by the national committee, and went to bed. To morrow morning at 6 clock, he will start on his tour through the South. Salem, Sept. 12. Marion county claims the oldest pioneer Oregon.

Hi -name is John Durbin, and he was 102 years old John Uurbin was born in iayette county, Pennsylvania, September 13, 1794. His birth antedates the death of George Washington five vears. He did service as lieuten ant in the war. of 1812, and lived through the Mexican and civil wars. He knows what Indian war fare is from having lived among th.em, and has survived all.

In 1800, Mr. Durbin moved from his native state to Richard county, Ohio, where, in 1820, he mar ried Sarah Fitting. Of this un ion were born ten children, five of whom are" living. The family mov ed to Hancock county, Illinois, in 184Z: thence to Clayton county, Missouri, in the same year. In the spring of4845, the family, with a body of emigrants, set out for Ore gon, arriving in the tail of 1q4o.

Mr, Durbin settled ip Marion county, and it has since been his home. He has lived ah active life, giving most of his time to farming and stock raising. In the '50s it was his custom to drive bands of cattle into the Rogue river valleyp graze off of nature's rich pastures. He bad a large band in the valley at the time of the threatened outbreak of the Rogue River Indians. It was Mr.

Durbin good fortune to get along peaceably with the Indians, even when they were hostile toward the government and other settlers. He treated with the Rogue, River Indians at the start by pismising them two head of fat cattle a year lor the privilege ot pasturage, and he always lived op to the treaty. An incident occurred while he was looking after, his cattle, in the RogDt! River vylley, to. wJtick, Mr, Durbin attributes hie total absti nence from- tobacco since. He bad stopped on the mountainside to lights his pip, when be heard the snap of an Indian's gun only a few rods away.

During the past week there have been a number of heavy rains, accompanied by thunder, and in some p'aces strong wiocls; The ha'rvest, however, is except in the most-northern parts. In the wheat market the tone improved during the week, Da'nubian and Russian wheat being firmer.

New white wheat was scarce, with better inquiry and more doing. Red- wheat i parcels closed much stronger in tone, in sympathy with the American market. Caliiornia wheat, October and November delivery was quoted at 25s 9d. Spot was firm. Fl'iur was quiet and very firm.

Denver, Sept. 13. The Denver trades and labor assembly decided to send a committee to Mexico to investigate the conditions of labor in a free-silver, country. This is done because it is alleged by them that the committee recent ly sent to Mexico by the Chicago assembly is under the influence of the gold-standard advocates, lhe committee consists of T. W.

Taylor, president of the assembly, and Charles N. Monaghan, representing the Knights of Labor. 1 hey leave here next Thursday. San Francisco, Sept. 13.

The first big bet of the presidential cam paien so. far recorded was made here last night, when Charles D. Lane, manager for Alvina Hay ward, and Henry Bratnober," the mine promoter, affixed their signa ture to notes in which each pledged to pay the other $25,000 in the case the candidate of his choice is not the choice of the people in Novem ber. The parties to the wager nave known one another tor many years, Lane was chairman of the recent silver convention, and is an ardent supporter of WrJ.Bryan and the white metal. Bratnober is just as enthusiastic a supporter of Major f-T- 1.1- 1 -r f- The two friends were on the point of taking a "nightcap" at the Grand i-i i a noiei -oar, wnen toe political situation was broached.

In the heat of the debate Bratnober offered to bet $100,000 -on McKinley's BQccess, and Lane promptly accepted the bet, but by mutual consent it was subsequently declared off. Just be fore parting, however, bratnober remarked i to his friend that he guessed Lane had saved himself $100,000 by not making the bet, and the latter thereupon offered to bet any amount oq Bryan at even money. Bratnober named $25,000, the bet was made, and a couple of minutes later their respective notes were signed and deposited iq the hotel safe. lURY Of CURES ttyer ST) 30 A fatal occurred this after noon fiver-miles north of Areata, which resulted in the death of four persons and the serious, ii not fatal injury of several others. The train which leaves Areata at 4:30 for Corbel, went through iherrbridge across Mad river, -both coaches, engine and box-car being piecipi-tated to the river bed below, about 40 feet.

IX There is much excitement ht re over a' recent gold discovery on Grand En campment creek, about 45 miles southeast of this city, and just north of the Colorado line. The discovery was made by A.

H. Huston and Ben Cullton in July. They have kept the matter quiet until the present time. At a depth ot 12 feet they have a pay streak 22 inches wide, assaying from $200 to $10,000 in gold. The vein has been traced for several miles Some 40 ox 50 claims have been located.

You give us a principal effect of their participation in- the campaign was to strengthen the republican ranks. If the names of the nominees of the gold democrats had been on the ticket, however, it is believed a very good showing would have been made. -J Candidate Bateman was jhe main -strength of the populists in their canvass, his efforts being mainly devoted to keeping members1 of his party, who favor, free silver, out of the democratic ranks. His opposition had been based on the candidacy of Sewall for the vice-presidency1, which he maintains is inconsistent, and his objections to the dem- ocratio ticket on that account have been most streuuous. The figures at hand indicate thai there has been some decrease in the populist vote.

It is believed that some of this loss' has been -added to the democratic strength. The prohibitionists conducted tbeir campaign practically on the same lines as in the past. In nine of the congressional dis- tricta there was a close contest. AH. of the demooratio' candidates for-congress evidently believed that it was impossible to defeat the republican nominees, and their canvass-was not very active In Mr.

Reed's district it was conceded that hia majority would be greater than ever before, and it was also expected that Dingley, Milliken and Bou-telle would be successful by increased majorities.
